What is the significance of lobola?

A man drives into a head on collision on purpose, killing himself, his wife and their one-year-old toddler. He felt there was no reason for him to live anymore after his in-laws had refused to accept his lobola.

He was told that he did not qualify to marry their daughter, even after siring a child with her. To them, he was a penniless mukwasha (son-in-law). Frustrated, the guy took to the bottle before deciding to take a drive with his family with a plan to end his misery through a murder suicide.

How to be optimistic

Believe in hope and you will never be defeated. There is hope and there is room for improvement. A delay is never a defeat. Failure is never final. Problems are not a pronouncement of Armageddon. Guard your focus. What you focus on determines the direction in which you move. When you lose your focus, you lose your motivation. Focus on where you are going to, not just what you are going through.
